A nice addition to Brixx Pizza,pours a creamy black with a some reddish tint with a creamy nitro head.Aroma is on the sweeter side with some dark roast coffe thrown in,what a smooth creamy mouthfeel near perfect.Taste has a nice big bitterness up front but becomes more tame as u drink more some dark roast coffeee and ubsweetened chocolate with anice underlying softness.Man how drinkable is this beer on nitro damn I could drink this all night and did.

This stout looks awesome in the glass. It's so dark it's almost black with a rich syrupy likeness and a light brown foamy head. The nose was rather malty, as you might expect from the physical attributes I described earlier. The first taste seemed sharp to me, with an interesting balance between the chocolate malts and sharpness of the hops clearly coming through. The finish is long and dry but still sharp and clean. Very nice.

This is a nice contrast to Young's Double Chocolate Stout which is considerably smoother and sweeter. The Oatmeal has a nice clean bite to it that I like. I don't know that I would want to drink this one often but in my humble opinion this one is very good.

I'm not picking up too much of anything distinct in the nose. The label refers to a "fruity aroma," but I smell no such thing.

The taste is surprisingly disappointing. Just not a whole lot going on. Kind of mild and forgettable. It is smooth, though. I'll give it that. It gets a little better as it warms toward room temperature. I'm picking up a bit of a "toasty" finish now.

Mouthfeel is rather thin and disappointing as well. Not thick & chewy, which is how I like my oatmeal stouts.

I wouldnt want another of these, frankly because I wouldnt want to waste my time.

Poured very dark, couldn't coax much of any kind of aroma out of it, the mellow chocolate taste made the biggest impression, along with the very smooth mouthfeel. It seemed to get less bitter at the end thenmost stouts of this kind. A great sipping alone brew.

Presentation: 16.9 oz brown bottle with the Ram Brewery emblem right below the neck. &#8220;Best Before End&#8221; freshness date on the back label.

Appearance: Nice lather of tan bubbles that hug to the inside of the glass, this is one dark brew as no light can be seen through the pitch black colour.

Smell: Faint liquorice root, vague vanilla, sweet creamed coffee and a ghost like charred smokiness in the aroma from the roasted malts and oatmeal.

Taste: So damn smooth with a creamy back, the soft carbonation literally curls around the tongue and caresses it showing an out standing mouth feel. A push of mild charcoal with a touch of smokiness, hints of dark chocolate and suggestions of vanilla is a result of roasted malts and the malt and oat sweetness. Hops a light but pitch in to balance the brew out. Slight puckering from the dry roasted malt character that throws some easygoing burnt flavours as well as a trace coffee. Semi dry finish lingers long with light roasted tones.

Notes: A top notch oatmeal stout, not so heavy to take away from the drinkability and does not lack in flavour or complexity. One of my favourite beers from Young&#8217;s and one I frequent when I am looking for a full flavoured stout.

16.9 ounce bottle sampled, has freshness dating notched onto the label. Pours the expected black, with light coming thru the edges, with a tan head and some sticky lacing on the glass after every sip. Nose is light licorish, and some burnt grain. Dark chocolate, mocha, minerally slate notes. World renowned smooth mouthfeel evident and noted on the tongue and entire mouth, vanilla in the finish. Classic dark brew, understated and British in attack. Fine, tasty quaffer, well worth a try.

Poured jet black with parchment color head. Smelled of coffee and chocolate and a slight burnt smell. The taste was not quite what I expected. Had an almost chocolate covered bitter nut flavor. Must have a little more hop than typical of oatmeal stouts. The flavor was much fuller than most stouts with the typical velvety mouthfeel. The drinkability was good and I think I could put back a few more of these than I could a typical stout.

Dark brown, non-transparent, with a biege, thick, foamy head that rises up an inch high in the glass. Low aroma of malt and hops. Chewy mouthfeel, full and creamy. Malty, not too sweet, a bit chalky with some smoke. A bit of vanilla and toffee in the finish, and a slight hint of banana hangs on the palete. Interesting flavors that come and go as you move through this one. None very strong or dominant though. The head hangs in there for the duration and leaves fine lacing all the way down.

Review from a 14.9 oz nitro can...agree that the aroma is even influenced by oatmeal...very creamy, cascades downward in the pint glass for a long time. Very pleasant body and mouthfeel and a not-too-sweet but discernably choco-malt mid taste flavor. Enjoyed...

Appearance: Pours deep caramel brown with a decent sized quickly dissipating tan head, lacing is fine and webbed. Aroma: A fruity suprising alcohol tinged presence along with a creamy chocolate and mild coffe notes to top it off. Taste: Creamier than most stouts the dark roasted malts aren't as dominant a bit tame bit the chocolate flavor and coffee esque finish make this one a classic plus with an added bonus fruity overtones and a nice presence of alcohol in the flavor yum. Mouthfeel: Smooth even carbonation a bit dry in the finish, not as fluffy and full bodied as most oatmeal stouts but still very tasty. Drinkability: Solid a go to especially on nitro if nothing more intriguing is available either way I like this stout when I'm not in the mood for a chewy stout, this one is more drinkable no heavy thickness in the mouthfeel but still flavorful and has everything that makes stouts what they are.

Pours a robust mocha head over a black body. The head recedes quickly. Light aromas of sweet and toasted malt with a hint of vinous fruit. Flavor is mildly sweet with some residual mineral traces and bitterness toward the finish. Smooth oatmeal mouthfeel accompanied by a slight crispness from the hops as well as faint mineral slickness.

A mild, yet hearty stout. Well-balanced, but its still has that distinct London mineral character. And as always, the Youngs rams head on the bottle and cap kicks ass.

Probably one of the best beers ever to come out of a nitro-can. As far as appearances go, it goes out a nice, impressively murky dark-brown, from which little light seems to escape. Head isn't big, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in smooth, nitro blended creamyness.

Smells just fine, and tastes nice and toasty. A good, solid stout backed up by a striking smoothness. Perhaps not as heavy as a few other stouts I've tried, the taste has a good, strong, burnt chocolate edge to it.

Nice and cheap too, one of the better stouts you can get at this price. Definately worth a try.

I've had this one a few times. It pours deep, dark brown, not quite black, with a reasonable tan head. It smells a bit like bunt cookies, but not in a bad way, with a definte oat presense. This is a malty brew for sure. The flavor is slighty bitter chocolate, with a tiny bit of hop zing in the middle, and a warm and round malty finnish. Also, this brew is not overly sweet and has refreshing bitter qualities. I would say the taste has a weak begining, but a nice lasting aftertaste. The mouthfeel is somewhat fizzy to start, but coats the mouth nicely and lingers pleasantly. Robust, but not too heavy. A good, middle of the road brew.
